Couvent Chambolle-Musigny “40 Ouvrées” 2023

Philippe Cheron’s Domaine du Couvent is the successor to the Domaine des Varoilles, though Cheron’s family has long held a minority interest in all the Varoilles parcels and he knows them well. Philippe brings a gifted winemaking technique developed through decades of experience, and has added superb family parcels to the Domaine’s range.

Chambolle-Musigny Quarante Ouvrées is an assemblage of small plots from around the appellation. Lifted cherry and strawberry notes, with a little spicy white pepper, with energy and a long finish. This has the classic silky texture that could only be from Chambolle. We expect it to drink well from the time it arrives, and to stay at a high level for five years or more.
